I've lived in NC most of my life and ever since 08 I've considered it a purple state. In 2012 it was red but it was close, and same for 2016. I was really disappointed in my NC brethren for going red in 2016, but trust me, we can easily go blue again like we did in '08. There's a lot more progressiveness out here than I think the country realizes.

I don't think Texas flips regardless of who wins the nomination.
There isn't enough momentum in the senate race and I think you'd need at minimum a strong presence there (like Beto was in '18) to help drive turnout.
I think Trump takes Texas and we get stuck with another 6 years of Cornyn.
That being said I'll be doing what I can with my vote.
I thought Bernie couldn’t appeal to moderate Republicans and independents.
He’s winning recovering white supremacist never trumpers.
Yoooooooo
Bernie is converting actual Registered Republicans on his side.

I want to be clear on this first and foremost, I don't care what Bernie has. He earned it.
Secondly, but more importantly, what we earn doesn't determine how good of people we are.
That said, I expect people to fight for what benefits them. @No1 likes to call me a cynic, but I think it's not only prudent, but extremely important that people vote for their best interest.
But I agree. There's a better way for healthcare going forward if it's Bernie Sanders that leads us to that then I'm 100% okay with that.
My biggest fear is that setting our standard at Sanders M4A it allows Republicans to look like the adults by tackling drug prices and surprise billings in the interim. Or even worse, Republican governors just expand medicaid under the current system.
I say it's my worst fear, because I'd welcome all of those things, but that would allow them to be more regressive elsewhere.
I think Bernie will be the nom, I hope dems realize we're all in This together and I hope at the very least we have a public option.
When I lived in SF it was 800k for a 2br in the tenderloin. Those prices have to be higher now.I mean...SF housing been outta control
CA in general. Too many liberals, I presume.

Y'all can be mad at me for trolling, but I've been one of the few people actually creating multi page policy discussions.

Trump actually did poorly among people who attend church (a very different voting block than people who declare Christian but don't actually go to church). Cruz had those voters and that's why he stayed in the race so long. A lot of church-going vote were backing Rubio, Cruz, or ended up staying home in the primaries.
The combination of nominating Pence and then declaring he would pick a Supreme Court Justice from that particular list were the two factors that really got a good part of the White Evangelical church-going support in his favor in the general. Otherwise I think only a few more would have voted for Clinton but a lot more would have stayed home.
Surprised y'all not mentioning Arizona. Everyone from Politico to the Wall Street Journal has been saying since last year that Arizona might turn blue.
Though it might be bad vibes from Clinton trying to hit that a cycle too early.
At this point I just hope Bernie wins (I’m doubtful) because we’re stuck with him now and the alternative is far more intolerable. It’s just wild to think about how fractured the Democratic Party’s looking right now. I was 19 when Barack ran in 2008 so I wasn’t as into politics but I don’t remember people on the left being so divided. We fighting like we not in the same party.
